The stalled closure legislation, which was put together by Newsom, City Attorney Dennis Hererra, former San Francisco DA Kamala Harris, the SFPD and the Recreation and Parks Department, would shut down the park at night and allow the police to jail individuals who repeatedly broke the rules.

The Bayview’s similarly problematic John McLaren Park was also targeted for overnight shutdown. McLaren Park was where an unfortunate visitor accidentally discovered a severed leg.
